"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is a notable oil painting by Francesco de Mura (1696–1782), an Italian artist of the late Baroque period, also known as the Rococo era. De Mura, born in Naples, was a prominent painter whose works are characterized by their softness and elegance, and he is considered one of the leading figures of the Neapolitan school of the 18th century.

The painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" (Gerusalemme Liberata), which was a popular subject for artists during the Baroque period. The narrative moment captured in "Erminia Among the Shepherds" portrays the character Erminia, a Saracen princess in disguise, finding refuge with a group of shepherds after fleeing from the Crusader camp. The scene is a pastoral idyll, showcasing Erminia's encounter with a peaceful and rustic way of life, contrasting with the violence of the ongoing conflict.

Francesco de Mura's rendition of this subject is noted for its harmonious composition, delicate color palette, and the tender expressions of the figures, which convey a sense of tranquility and bucolic charm. The painting is an example of de Mura's skill in blending the grandeur of history painting with the intimate charm of genre scenes.

"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, reflecting the 18th-century taste for literary themes and pastoral settings. The work is part of de Mura's broader oeuvre, which includes religious and mythological subjects, and contributes to our understanding of the artistic trends and influences in Naples during this period.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the appreciation of Francesco de Mura's contribution to the arts. It continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of European art history.
